Do yourself a favour and stay away from this place. There was no manager or receptionist was at the property for check-in. The cleaning lady called in a drunkard who tore up our reservation. We got a completely different room from what we booked. Bugs everywhere.

Upon arrival there was no one to check us in. Thankfully another traveller, who had had the same experience, showed us where the office was (to the right of the hostel, big red stairs) but it was closed. He then directed us to a travel agent who might have her number. After several attempts to call her she finally got ahold of her. After a long travel day this sucked and we found out others had the same experience. The hostel was in a great location but it was loud so bring earplugs. The rooms were fine and a good size but we were put in a large room first and then were asked to switch rooms after two days. The second room had a fridge so we were happy with that. What we really didn't like was how often they let themselves into our room. They would go in to turn the AC off, which we started to do when we left the room, but also a fella that seemed to maybe work there just opened our door while we were in there one day too. It was odd. They claimed to have safes in the room, there weren't any. The showers had hot water but it was either scalding or cold with no water pressure. They ran out of drinking water and didn't replenish it for a full day. If you aren't to finiky, this place is worth the price with the location alone.

Not the best not the worst

This was the least expensive accommodation when I made my reservation and my review takes that into consideration. Central location was beneficial when getting groceries, going out for meals, sightseeing, and going scuba diving with Shark Bay. Water leaked from toilet tank onto bathroom and bedroom floor and when informed staff did not offer to take care of it. Staff also turned off air conditioner when I was out hiking and when I returned after lunch it took a couple hours for the room to cool.

The hostel is very clean, quiet and safe, excellent care, good location near the harbor dock, give very good references to the site.

 Excellent accommodation

The property does not have any arrivals desk. When we found the sign for the Hostal we couldn’t find any indication of an office or someone to talk to. We walked up 2 flights of steps and found a cleaning lady who spoke no English but motioned for us to go back downstairs. Eventually someone from the shop across the street went and found and a man in a building up the street who came and led us back up the stairs and pointed to the room that was ours. No words were exchanged, passports weren’t shown, no many given. We didn’t have any interaction with anyone else until 3 nights later when the same man reappeared with a bill which we paid promptly. Rooms were large, spacious, clean. Bed comfortable. Windows locked and air con worked. Bathroom smelled of sewer which we managed to stop by placing a wet towel over the shower drain. Shower consistently ran scalding hot (very dangerous) and icy cold. Towels were clean but old and some stains. Room was cleaned daily and disinfectant used in bathroom (smell of Clorox when we returned to the room). The staircase was dark but had motion sensor lights that worked well at night.

Simple, basic rooms with your own en-suite and cheap and chips. Our own little balcony was gorgeous as well to sit and people watch. The linen and towels were old but it’s another factor which drives down the price. The bed was comfortable and we were so close to everything! A minimart across the road and the tour operator next door. Would definitely stay again

Great for the price! Great central spot in town as well.

Based on listing: Staff did not speak English, no hot water, breakfast not providef, wifi did not work. Also there was no reception desk

We enjoyed our stay here, especially the great location, the kitchenette, and the free drinking water. It's close to many tour booking agencies, the port, and lots of restaurant options.

Would recommend to a friend

I booked the accommodation because it was quite affordable for a single room. When I arrived, it was difficult to find someone who could help me because there was no reception. The room itself was quite large and had three beds, which corresponded to the information. However, the shower was cold, the walls were wet, the window was not properly closed, so it was very loud and cold at night. The room door was also very difficult to close. I changed the accommodation after the first night. Not to recommend.
